Plagiarism is the defined in Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary as “the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representa- tion of them as one’s own original work.” Eastern is not ignoring the prob- lem of academic dishonesty and is getting the help of a computer pro- gram to make sure offenders get caught. Turnitin Web-based plagiarism detection service, and its Web site stated an exponential growth of incidences of plagiarism have accompanied the rapid growth of the Internet.

In search of music this weekend? Lost and Found, Christian musicians, will per- form at 6 p.m. Friday in the Mattoon High School gym. Trinity Lutheran Church Pastor Ann Siverling said the youth group attended a conference in Atlanta last year, where they heard Lost and Found and decided to invite them to Mattoon. Lost and Found is a duet between two men, Michael Bridges and George Baum. The two have been performing together since 1986. They met at a picnic in their parents’ back yard at the age of 14 and decided to start playing together. Bridges and Baum describe them- selves as being unlike any other Christian band. The two play acoustic instruments and sing about their stories and experiences with God. George plays the piano and Michael plays the guitar. Their music is a blend of folk and screaming with an occasional ballad. According to speedwood.com, this duet has performed in every state in the Union and is in concert approximately 150 days each year. Trinity Lutheran Youth Leader Gabe Rutledge said Lost and Found is a funny duo that includes comedy routines in performances. Proceeds from the concert will go to Habitat for Humanity, an organization dedicated to elimi- nating poverty housing. Holly Cox of Habitat for Humanity said that this is the first Christian band they have spon- sored. A good turn out is expected because the church and Habitat have been receiving many calls about the band, she said. Tickets may be purchased at Habitat for Humanity, Trinity Lutheran Church or at the door for seven dollars.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Cats look to end three-game-losing streak vs. Tigers

By Matthew Stevens SPORTS EDITOR

In what could be described as a make-or-break game for the Panthers, the team seems happy to be making the trip to Nashville at this moment. “I think this is the game on the road trip where we won’t be con- sidered the underdog,” Eastern head coach Linda Wunder said. “We still need to focus to get a road win.” Last season, Tennessee State was the only road win for the Panthers, who went 1-14 away from Lantz Arena in the 2003-2004 season. Eastern is already 3-8 on the road and will go for its fourth vic- tory Thursday night as the team faces Tennessee State. The Panthers will be looking for their sixth straight victory over the Tigers. “I can’t really explain it, but we have played more consistent com- plete games on the road,” Wunder said. The Panthers (6-16, 3-8) wrap up a four game in eight day stretch against the last-place Tigers who Eastern defeated soundly 79-49 at Lantz on January 17. Eastern drained a season-high 10 three-pointers en route to a 79-49 win. Eastern’s defensive effort shut down Tigers leading scorer Kisha Stewart.

When boot scootin’ meets headbanging, spectators crawl out of the woodwork to witness the spectacle. A mix of cowboys and street punks filled the club, anxiously awaiting the reincarna- tion of a country music legend or the punk- metal prodigy in his own right . Hank III’s grandfather, Hank Williams, is considered to be the father of modern coun- try music. He was barred from the Grand Ol’ Oprey before he died of lifestyle-induced heart failure at age 29. Hank III’s father, Hank Williams Jr., has been credited with luring country and rock music into the same arena. Now Hank III carries on the fine fam- ily tradition of hard living and entertainment with not one, but two, different acts in the same concert.
